Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu has slammed an online outlet for its insensitive post saying she lost her glow after her Myositis diagnosis.
In a Twitter post on Monday, the online outlet shared photos of the actor from the trailer launch event of Samantha's upcoming Telugu movie "Shaakuntalam".
On the photos, the caption read, "Feeling sad for Samantha. She lost all her charm and glow."
"When everyone thought she came out of divorce strongly and her professional life is seeing heights, Myositis hit her badly, making her weak again," it added.
The actor took to Twitter to call out the post.
"I pray you never have to go through months of treatment and medication like I did... And here’s some love from me to add to your glow," the 35-year-old actor tweeted.
Samantha had revealed in October last year that she was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis.
It is a rare condition that can cause muscles to become weak, tired, and painful, and is usually caused by a problem with the immune system, where it mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
The actor received support from Bollywood star Varun Dhawan who asked her to be not bothered by a "clickbait" post.
"U don’t feel bad abt anything u just care about clickbait feel bad for u son. Also glow is avaliable in instagram filters. Jsut meet Sam trust me she was glowing (sic)" Dhawan tweeted.
Samantha is currently looking forward to the release of her latest Telugu movie --the mythological drama "Shaakuntalam".
Billed as a whimsical tale, “Shaakuntalam” revolves around the epic love story of Shakuntala and King Dushyant, portrayed by Samantha and Dev Mohan of “Sufiyum Sujatayum” fame, respectively.
The movie is scheduled to be released in theatres countrywide on February 17.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
